To find out whether your family is eligible for the program and learn more about the qualification criteria, review the explanations below. Take this opportunity to improve the well-being of your loved ones.
Qualification criteria for families under Bolsa Família
Bolsa Família represents a Brazilian government initiative intended to assist families facing financial difficulties. To access the benefit, the family's monthly income must be no more than R$ 218 per member.
This means that the total income of the family members, when divided by the number of people, cannot exceed this amount.
Let us take as an example a mother who supports her three children on her own. She works as a house cleaner and has a monthly income of R$ 800.
Since the children are too young to work, this amount is the family's only income. Dividing the R$ 800 by the number of people (four), we get R$ 200.
As R$ 200 is below the threshold of R$ 218, this mother and her three children meet the requirements to receive Bolsa Família.
Thus, the initiative provides essential financial assistance to low-income households, ensuring access to resources to improve their quality of life and provide a more promising future for their members.

These regulations focus mainly on health and education, aiming at the progress and well-being of children and adolescents.
To maintain the benefit, families must meet the following commitments:
- Prenatal Care: Pregnant women must attend prenatal appointments regularly, ensuring a healthy pregnancy and monitoring the fetus's development;
- Vaccination: It is crucial to follow the national vaccination program, ensuring that all children are immunized against diseases;
- Nutritional Monitoring: Families must check the nutritional health of children under 7 years old, making sure they follow a balanced diet;
- School Attendance: For children between 4 and 5 years old, minimum school attendance must be 60%. For those between 6 and 18 years old who have not yet completed basic education, minimum attendance rises to 75%, reinforcing the importance of regular education;
- Cadastro Único: Families also need to keep their Cadastro Único updated, reviewing the data at least every two years. This update ensures the program’s effectiveness in meeting beneficiaries’ needs.
Finally, following these rules not only allows the continued receipt of Bolsa Família, but also strengthens the healthy development of new generations.
This establishes a cycle of education and health that has the potential to break the cycle of poverty in the long term.
